Rifugio Terzo Alpini is located a few meters from the Grange di Valle Stretta at 1780 m.a.s.l. in the Hautes-Alpes department, between Bardonecchia (Italy) and Briancon (France).

The refuge was built by the Italian Alpine Club of Turin in 1930. As a result of the 1947 Peace Treaty, Valle Stretta was ceded to France and therefore the refuge passed into the hands of the CAF. In 1970 the CAF returned the refuge to the CAI of Turin for the symbolic amount of 1 franc. Since 2006 the refuge has belonged to the Novo family.

The refuge can accommodate up to 34 people. The rooms are as follows: 2 2-bed rooms, 2 4-bed rooms, 1 8-bed room and a 14-bed dormitory. The small rooms as well as the dormitory are equipped with wooden bunk beds. Bathrooms and showers are located on each floor and are equipped with hot water.

At Terzo Alpini the cuisine is typically Italian. The main dish is polenta served with classic condiments such as cheeses from the alpine pastures or with stew and sausage, or with venison.

Typical Piedmontese and French wines are available to choose from.

For children you will also find a tailor-made menu.
